Escondido's inland valley location brings intense summer heat (95°F+) and low humidity that rapidly dry out unprotected wood decks. Decks here crack and gray faster than coastal areas. We use deep-penetrating oil-based stains with maximum UV inhibitors that soak into wood fibers, preventing the cracking and splitting common on Escondido decks.
